dc.description.abstractThe South African law concerning directors' duties is intricate under both the common law and the Companies Act. This is an area of corporate law which allows for a wealth of practical and theoretical difficulty. I aim to deconstruct the intricacy of the American experience of the business judgment rule, with particular reference to the rule in Delaware, so as to present what I perceive to be the correct practical application of the rule in South African corporate law. This dissertation does not address the wisdom of the decision to transplant and codify the American business judgment rule within the Companies Act.en_ZA
